June Garden

Lovely garden, me special love the porch area..:))

Nice Marjorie specially after the well needed rain.

I love your pergola.

I could just sit on that seat and enjoy it.

love the garden and all the flowers are beautiful, what would I give to have a pergola like that too. :O) very nice :o)

You have a wonderful garden, love it!

what's left to say - you've a lovely garden and it's agreed your pergola is gorgeous......now I wonder????

Beautiful plants and I love your pergola. Everyone on GOY seems to have new fences, stunning trellis, clean paving, immaculate Hosta's and well behaved plants. Do you all hide the rickety boundaries, unruly plants and weeds and green covered trellis? Or is it just me who is not organised enough?

Honeysuckle - I know what you mean! I'm not too sure I want to show my rotting fences and old fashioned paving slabs and my shed that's seen better days in my photos now I've seen the perfection that so many GoYers seem to have in their gardens! I still love mine best though as it's my own patch, so nothing else really matters:)

I used to think like that too - then learned it just depends on the camera angle ;)

I know what you mean. The standards on here make me nervous! Your garden is really lovely Marjorie

Everything looks so lovely and healthy, Marjorie. A holeless hosta- now there's a thing! I like the colour combination of geum with euphorbia and I want that pergola. Lovely garden. Afraid I'm in the rickety fences, tumbledown shed and everything-could -do-with- a- lick- of- paint category myself. What's nice on GOY is that we get to see so many different styles of gardening and we mustn't think of it as a competition or I'd have to leave at once!!

Beautiful garden Margorie. I would love a pergola like yours. But, can I please join the munched hostas, weeds, unruly hedges brigade? Whilst in photos, my garden looks pretty good, when you get up close and personal it's another matter!

think we all have bits and pieces we do not like and would never photograph, me included, in fact what is the point of taking a picture of the rubbish bits, we know where they are and we do not need a reminder of them. lol. Me I tend to take pictures as and when it has been tidied up and whenever there is something a little different to look at, mainly to look back on over the winter months when the garden is quiet and resting. In fact last evening when it was blowing a gale and cold out in the garden I had a good look back at my garden in past years, you would not believe how it has changed. Just like a story book. Amazing. Just keep ignoring the worst bits and enjoy your good bits. lol :O))) Still want a pergola like yours Marjorie, I have just the spot too. lol in fact it would take a wrap around the house one. lol better not tell the OH he would have nightmares. lol

Thank you all for your lovely comments. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so our gardens are all very personal to the person who creates them.
My husband built the pergola many years ago to support the Rambling Rector which is only just beginning to flower - within a few days hopefully it will be covered in the lovely white roses. He would take orders but he is too busy being retired!!!!
By the way Mr Snail has now begun to devour the hostas.

Your garden is beautiful :o)

A beautiful garden!That bright red Geum glows gloriously against the Acid yellow Euphorbial!
Yes, I'm sure the rain has helped but that darned cold wind certainly hasn't!!!

Too true, Paul! My ramblers - Veilchenblau and Alberic Barbier are propped up with old Christmas trees and other large branches from radical pruning of other trees and shrubs. Every year, in Summer, when the ad hoc supports are groaning with the weight of these immense beauties and the roses below are complaining that they're being smothered by them, I tell myself that next year I'll put something proper in place to do the job properly, and every Spring when I've pruned everything back and they look like a couple of perfectly well-behaved children, I decide I don't need to. I never learn. Lol!
